Alberto Giacometti (10 October 1901 – 11 January 1966) was a Swiss sculptor, painter, draughtsman and printmaker. Coming from an artistic background, he was interested in art from an early age. Regarding Giacometti's sculptural technique and according to the Metropolitan Museum Of Art: "The rough, eroded, heavily worked surfaces of Three Men Walking (II), 1949, typify his technique. Reduced, as they are, to their very core, these figures evoke lone trees in winter that have lost their foliage. Within this style, Giacometti would rarely deviate from the three themes that preoccupied him—the walking man; the standing, nude woman; and the bust—or all three, combined in various groupings.
the style of Albertos drawing are very sketchy and erratic, but i find this very interesting and is different from the rest, his sculptures are very thin and lack the intricate detail of the human body and are portrayed as almost 'stick men' but again, i think this is interesting and could work well using clay and wire if i were to try to recreate his work.
